This procurement is currently in the planning stage and will involve a questionnaire available from 4th February 2022 to 14th February 2022. The total estimated value of this procurement is £300,000, falling within the health and social work services category (CPV: 85000000). Interested parties can direct their responses to the engagement exercise through the relevant online platform. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health and social care staffing solutions, particularly those capable of providing short-term support services. Companies that specialise in staffing, recruitment, or care services would find this engagement beneficial, as it allows them to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure contracts to assist the council in meeting urgent staffing needs. Participation in this market engagement may lead to further tenders as the council assesses the level of interest from the market and decides on future procurement actions. ## Notice Hampshire County Council are wanting to implement an Emergency Care Response (ECR) service, which is a short-term service to support adults social care settings experiencing short term staffing difficulties or failure across the Hampshire County Council (HCC) area, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
